Information for voters

Only those who are listed in a voters’ register or have a polling card may vote.

A voter’s notification informs those eligible to vote that they have been entered in the voter’s register.

Persons entitled to vote who are entered in a voters’ register do not need a specific reason to exercise their right to vote by post. To this end, they have to apply for a polling card to be issued.

Representative electoral statistics are used to analyse the voting behaviour, namely the voter turnout and the votes cast by sex and year of birth groups.
